Taken on a Casio Exilim EX-S2.Shout-out to everyone refusing to accept that the early 2000s have come to an end. Taken on a Casio Exilim EX-S2.A verdant pocket of quietness amongst the force of it all.A photo can’t even attempt to convey the vitality and strength of Kamasi Washington’s music. Seeing him make his sax scream with Thundercat on bass and his dad stood up there next to him on the soprano is something I’ll never forget.
